Life through a lockdown lens

Professional photographer Chris Kelly has been capturing wildlife during lockdown.

He usually works in London but has returned home to Lanarkshire to be close to family during the pandemic.

And he has been spending some time with his camera at Strathclyde Park.

Chris said: “I think it will be interesting to see these coming weeks, with Strathclyde Loch car parks reopening, if the prevalence of wildlife diminishes. I really hope not, as it’s been one of my main pleasures during the COVID-19 lockdown, real food for my soul.

“It’s not the normal photography I would be doing, but the past weeks I have developed a clearer understanding of why wildlife photography can be so addictive, you are completely in the moment, all the stress of COVID-19 fades. Just you, a deer and a camera...click!”

We’ve been enjoying bringing you some of his images, and here are some more.
